‘YOU CAN’T HAVE THE CAKE AND EAT IT’

'BOLD ACTION NEEDED'

Brexit does not mean UK is turning away from world, Theresa May will tell the UN

THE SUN SAYS

Theresa May is showing EU elites who's boss with her confidence about a successful Brexit

Every other prediction you made was bunkum.

You told us there would be ­emergency tax rises.

Now the talk is of tax cuts.

You said France would expel our immigration officers from Calais.

Now France says they can stay.

Germany’s finance ­minister warned us that “out means out” and that we’d be treated like a non-European country.

Now he says George Osborne asked him to use those words and speaks warmly of a special relationship with Britain.

You brought Barack Obama over to tell us we’d be at the back of the queue for a trade deal.

Now it’s clear that a UK-US deal will happen long before an EU-US one, and 26 countries from ­Australia to Uruguay are lining up to sign agreements with us.

You told us Brexit would cost each of us £4,300 a year — a figure no one any longer defends.

You told us our Stock Exchange would collapse.

British stocks are the best-performing in Europe.

Wrong... Barack Obama was brought over to tell us we’d be at the back of the queue for a trade deal - now it’s clear that a UK-US deal will happen long before an EU-US one

You told us no one would invest here.

Since the vote, we have seen massive investments by, among others, the pharma giants AstraZeneca and GSK, both of whom had warned against Brexit.

The American megabank Wells Fargo has just spent £300million on its new European HQ — in London.

Tata Steel, which had announced that it was pulling out of South Wales, is now reconsidering.

More start-ups have been launched since the vote than before it, retail sales are rising and manufacturing output is up.

Yet Remoaners cling to their ­grievances.

On Wednesday night, the economics editor of the Financial Times, which has been especially mopey since the vote, said that good news “is, paradoxically, bad news” because it will make us more arrogant, less prepared to think we depend on Europe, blah blah.

For heaven’s sake, you gloomsters, pull yourselves together.

It’s fair enough that you got it wrong — we all get things wrong.

It’s fair enough that you tried to ­justify yourselves for a while — we all sometimes do that, too.

But actively hoping for Britain to fail so that you can say “I told you so”?
